Unexpected

Chapter 17

“Thanks, Emery for everything you did on Friday night or practically Saturday morning,” I mutter. 

“No need to thank, just promise me you’ll never scare the shit out of me like you did?” Emery chuckles. 

I laugh. “I promise.” 

“Good, but Cedes do you want me going to Nevada for four days or is it not okay?” 

I look up at Emery. “You can go but you have to promise me one thing, just one.” 

“Okay…..” 

“You have to send me a picture of you with your girlfriend at this dance, deal?” 

Emery smiles. “Deal.”

“Mom, I got this!” I shriek as I move on my crutches up the stairs. “sorry I don’t mean to sound like a bitch, mom but I’ve done this many times.” 

“I know, I know. Here Noah would you mind bringing Cedes upstairs then and make sure she stays in bed. I’ll make some soup for you two, okay?” mom wonders as she drops her hand on my back. 

“Yes Momma E,” Noah replies. I shake my head but continue walking up the stairs, finally getting into my room, I throw my crutches to the ground and hop to my bed. Jumping into the warm wonders of my own bed. 

“Cuddle?” I crave as I pat the spot beside me. Noah takes off his shoes and walks around my bed then crawls in. I move my leg onto his lap. “massage?” Noah laughs but starts massaging my leg. I grab my remote and turn on my TV, turning onto WWE Monday Night Raw marathons. 

“Izzy’s been asking for you,” Noah mumbles. 

 I quickly glance at Noah. “Yeah? Tell her to come over whenever.” 

“She can be a pain in the ass.” 

I smack Noah’s arm. “Shut up, no she can’t, she’s a kid Noah.” 

“I bet you were a pain in the ass.” 

I gasp and look at Noah. “I doubt you were the most sweetest kid,” I mock back. 

“I really wasn’t,” Noah avows. I shake my head. “come here,” he mumbles. I move closer to Noah and his lips press onto mine. I awkwardly wrap my hands around his neck and scoot onto his lap, but its hard trying to be sexy with one leg. 

Knock, Knock 

Noah and I immediately pull away from each other when mom opens the door. She smiles at us. 

“I made soup and PB&J sandwich. Oh, Cedes did Emery tell you he’s heading to Nevada for a couple days?” I nod my head. “alright well dad and Emery are heading to a tux shop tonight, don’t know if you wanted to tag along?” 

I chuckle. “I’ll see if I’m up to it later,” I reply. 

“Alright well behave kids, I’ll be shutting the door so the heat cant escape. Emery will be in his room and dad and I will be downstairs if anyone of you two need anything.” we smile at mom at she’s out the door. I grab one sandwich and hand the other to Noah. 

“She ruins everything,” I mutter. Then before I eat the sandwich I bring it back. “wait I don’t know if I should eat. I defiantly don’t want to feel that pain again.” 

“You ate all PB&J sandwich’s the beginning of Junior year, I think you’ll be good.” 

I shrug and eat the sandwich. “Pittsburgh or Red Wings?” I ask.
